The 10K covers the same route as the 5K in two loops. The Cutie 1K follows the perimeter of Memorial Park and finishes near the festival area. Water is available twice on the 5K and four times on the 10K; electrolyte drinks are provided on course and at the finish. A roving first aid team will cover the route and a first aid station is located in the main expo area. The finish line and celebration are on the west side of Memorial Park on Orange Avenue. Parking is available around the park and nearby streets, with limited on-site parking on a first come, first serve basis. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
